Seems to me like we're one of two teams in a two horse race so I wouldn't give up on it unless you view Lyon as vastly superior to us.
The reports from L'Equipe are that HE views Lyons as vastly superior because of UCL play.

They did easily beat us twice last season.
If we time warped back to last season let me know and I'll just end it now. However I'm under the impression that this is a new season with new players for both teams and a new manager for ours.They did easily beat us twice last season.
Reports from a french paper claiming with no quotes that a player a french and english club are vying for prefers a french club. Definitely not taking them at their word.The reports from L'Equipe are that HE views Lyons as vastly superior because of UCL play.

So if our offer is lower than Lyon's... and the player himself wants to play in the Champions League... then how is it that he hasn't just signed for them already?

Interesting question this may raise. If it's not simply about competing in the competition, is it better brand-wise to be a player in a crap league but play in the champions league or play in the premier league with no champions league?Ok, they are in the elite european competition. We are sadly not.
Cos I'm bored and I want transferssssssHis agent is just playing a game and seeing who else wants to make an offer. Why rush into a decision, wait and see what else comes along.

Yeah I don't know the right answer. However that's a sample size of one player.Fred stayed at Shakhtar for a long time doing this and then got his big money move to United.
